As a rancher in California, he was an environmentalist himself. But the President of the United States doesn't control everything that happens in Washington. | | I think the government has to reposition environment on top of their national and international priorities. | | If everything is very important, then nothing is important. | | For example, the Prime Minister earlier this year talked about the importance of the Arctic to our future.
